Making breakfast with The Cure's Roger O'Donnell

From Queen Kwong:

Making breakfast with The Cure's Roger O'Donnell

Real talk on tragic eggs and the relentless need to make music


Roger plays keyboards and synths in The Cure. He joined the band in 1987. Before that, he played with The Thomson Twins and The Psychedelic Furs. He’s currently working on his 8th solo record.

I’m very fortunate to call Roger a longtime friend. He’s supported my career for many years and has contributed keyboards on my albums. I’m recording the new Queen Kwong LP at his home studio now, and thought it would be a good time to use the Substack video feature to get his candid take on some of the things I’ve been writing about on this platform —rock music, the entertainment industry, being in a band, being a creative, etc.
